100 Most Popular Dog Names in 2024/2025: By Breed, State, and More | Pupford

One of the first things a puppy learns is its name!

Over the past five years, Pupford has helped over 2 million dogs learn their name and various skills, cues, and behaviors through our positive reinforcement training app.

Today, we’re sharing a list of the top 100 most popular dog names from 2024, with a look forward to 2025.

We'll even break down top names by breed, US state, and some of the most popular letters for dog names.

How We Determined the Most Popular Dog Names

As part of our free dog training app and online classes, we ask pup parents to include their dog's name during the signup process.

We narrowed those entries down using specific criteria, mainly factoring in the year of submission.

This is, of course, not exhaustive data or a list of dog names worldwide, but it gives a good sample set. 😁

No, we try to let the puppy name itself. We let them settle in and get comfortable and their names just seem to come to us. Our last standard poodle’s call name was Cozy. We have a companion dog called Trés (because she was our 3rd dog at the time)and our newest addition is called Fanny.
